ALD’s Little D Program™ is a fun developmental play and learning program for introducing children to simple Mandarin words and phrases and school skills. Little D’s meaningful and purposeful play based curriculum will lay a solid foundation for further Chinese language study. The classes are designed for children with no prior exposure to Chinese language and will lay a solid foundation for further Chinese language study. Many of our exceptional Chinese Immersion School students are Little D Parent & Me graduates! Each class is a carefully scripted story with activities and lessons involving a theme that children can relate to. The lessons teach age-appropriate concepts and skills in art, music, science, and math bilingually in Mandarin and English. Little D classes use ALD's own exclusive fun children's songs to make learning Chinese fun. Come join the fun because it’s never too early to become bilingual!
